Product description:

This 1×1 Eco-Friendly Viscose Spandex Rib Knit Fabric is crafted with a premium blend of 92% viscose (modal) and 8% spandex, combining the softness and drape of regenerated cellulose fiber with the stretch and recovery of spandex. The fabric features a 1×1 rib knit structure, delivering a smooth, elastic texture with excellent shape retention and comfort.

With a fabric weight of 260GSM and a width of 180cm, this material offers a substantial yet lightweight feel—ideal for garments that require both body support and flexibility. The generous width allows for efficient cutting and reduced fabric waste during production.

The viscose component (often referred to as modal in high-quality fabrics) provides a silky-smooth hand feel, natural breathability, and excellent moisture-wicking properties. It absorbs moisture quickly and releases it efficiently, keeping the skin dry and comfortable during wear. The 8% spandex delivers strong two-way stretch and over 90% shape recovery, allowing the fabric to conform to the body’s contours without restriction or sagging.

The 1×1 rib construction creates a subtle, alternating convex-concave pattern on the surface, enhancing both visual appeal and tactile comfort. This structure also contributes to improved air circulation, reducing stuffiness and improving overall breathability.

The fabric exhibits excellent dyeability, producing soft, rich colors with high color fastness (rated above Level 4). Its natural origin and biodegradability make it an eco-conscious choice—derived from sustainable wood pulp sources, it offers a more sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers.

Ideal for intimate apparel, loungewear, sleepwear, T-shirts, baby clothing, and home textiles such as cushion covers and baby blankets, this fabric combines softness, stretch, and environmental responsibility. It is particularly well-suited for sensitive skin due to its hypoallergenic and non-irritating nature.

Compared to silk ribbing, this viscose-spandex blend offers superior value—delivering comparable luxury and comfort at a more accessible price point. A practical and sustainable choice for fashion designers and manufacturers seeking high-performance, eco-friendly fabrics.
